Beschreibung

One of NPR’s 2024 Books We Love In this “irresistible, immersive, and completely unputdownable” (Ellery Lloyd, New York Times bestselling author) debut novel, a former antique hunter investigates a suspicious death at an isolated English manor, embroiling her in the high-stakes world of tracking stolen artifacts. What antique would you kill for? Freya Lockwood is shocked when she learns that Arthur Crockleford, antiques dealer and her estranged mentor, has died under mysterious circumstances. She has spent the last twenty years avoiding her quaint English hometown, but when she receives a letter from Arthur asking her to investigate—sent just days before his death—Freya has no choice but to return to a life she had sworn to leave behind. Joining forces with her eccentric Aunt Carole, Freya follows clues to an old manor house for an advertised antiques enthusiast’s weekend. But not all is as it seems. It’s clear to Freya that the antiques are all just poor reproductions, and her fellow guests are secretive and menacing. What is going on at this estate and how was Arthur involved? More importantly, can Freya and Carole discover the truth before the killer strikes again?

2.5 stars I guess, I don't really know, actually rather less. The basic idea with the antiques was actually quite interesting, but the execution wasn't that great. Apart from Freya, who was annoying by the way and didn't really develop, most of the other characters were only mentioned by name and nothing else. The plot was also kind of confusing and I couldn't really empathize with it. But Arthur and his story was cool. The author was too focused on the story with Cairo and tried to make something really big out of it, which didn't work at all. At one point I got so annoyed that I was frustrated whenever the word "Cairo" was mentioned. But the design of the cover of the book is really a 10/10.
